9. Location of nearest dwelling: Clubhouse is 50 yards; nearest
dwelling is > 1000'.
10. Receiving stream or affected surface waters: UT West Fork
Linville River.
a. Classifications: C-Trout
b. River Basin and Subbasin No.: Catawba; 03-08-30
C. Describe receiving stream features and pertinent downstream
uses: The receiving stream is a low flow, spring -fed
headwaters of this tributary. The outfall is at the
discharge of a culvert collecting subsurface flow only.
Downstream uses include golf course irrigation, fish and
wildlife propagation, and secondary recreation. There is
moderate density residential development. The West Fork
Linville River is a popular trout fishing stream. Complaints
of algae -like growth from downstream users indicate that the
stream is receiving nutrients, possibly from golf course
fertilization. The Linville River receives a number of
discharges from domestic wastewater treatment plants. The
Linville River is proposed for reclassification to B Trout
from a point 6 miles downstream at Grandmother Creek to
Linville Falls, where it is presently classified as B Trout
HQW.

PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Mr. Gary Johnston, Vice President of Linville Ridge has requested
issuance of NPDES Permit No. NC0062413 for the continued operation
of the existing 15,000 gpd extended aeration plant. Based on
inspections it appears that the facility is operating properly and
can comply with current NPDES Permit limits. The effluent line
was, relocated to a positive 7Q10 site in the fall of 1993.
Alternative evaluations for treating the wastewater was conducted
in 1991 and a report was submitted to the Division as required.
No other costs effective alternative for treating the wastewater
was feasible except to relocate the discharge.
It is recommended that the permit be issued.
